Data platforms for Factory 4.0 – make or buy? The foundation for smart production
This blog post examines the role of data platforms in Factory 4.0 and discusses the pros and cons of standard software and customised software. The quality and availability of process data have a crucial bearing on the way that modern digital technologies are implemented. Data platforms are able to collect and provide this data from different sources. Standard software is available and ready to use quickly, but it may not fulfil all the specific requirements. A customised cloud-native solution can be adapted as requirements change and offers a high level of investment security. It also enables several companies to work together on the data platform to create a greater level of added value.
